Both of symbiotes couldn't hold it any more and came out of the body of Miles so that they could survive. They came out as black and red goo and started crawl outside in order to escape. They knew that they were finished but a sentient living species would always try every possible means to survive, because that was their instinct.

And their instinct said that they should run, no matter what.

John shook his head and brought out a bottle from his Gate of Babylon. He used telekinesis to take both of the symbiotes and sealed it in a bottle, and then kept it inside the Gate.

Miles who was screaming few seconds stopped and his hand instead of having burn marks, there were only torn sleeves.

"Ahh... That pain.. Hey man.. Was all that pain necessary?" Miles said as he held is hand. Though his hand magically stopped burning and even got healed.

"Yes. To get away from his control." John said. Miles slowly got up and held his head with his hand as he had a immense headache. All this time he was controlled by that man and even was forced to be a host of Venom and Carnage doing evils all around.

Miles felt guilty. Extreme guilty.

"He.. He forced me ... He is a devil..." Miles said as the reality had started to settle in.

"Devil? Naah.. He is just a man who has more ambitions than his shoulders can carry." John said. The next moment, the door of the makeshift-bar open and three more people stepped in.

These people were all famous in the comics.

Reed Richards.

Raven.

Dracula.

And Miles Morales making the 4 of a team. The famous 4 horsemen.

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

The 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Because their boss was Apocalypse himself. It was him who wanted to wake the unmaker up. Apocalypse had been studying the unmaker for a long time. He had found out about him centuries ago and thus wanted to control it. In the actual story he tried to do the same thing too, and even in this falshpoint, he secretly was researching by controlling Reed and getting his access to the unmaker.

Raven who could impersonate everyone and Richards who was one of the smartest minds were enough to continue his research.

"Oh the whole team is here. That's good."

"Who are you? What do you want?" Raven asked as she too saw how powerful he was from the camera. They thought Morales with symbiotes would be enough to handle such a guy but he made a fool out of them in a second. And now they lost one of the horsemen.

"It's always the same question.. Who am I? What do I want?... Nobody asks me how am I? People here don't seem to care about kindness and gratitude." John said as both his hands had caught fire now.

Reed seeing this stretching his fingers to wrap around John's eyes and Dracula using his claws to attack at abdomen. Raven didn't attack because she thought it would be useless as her forte wasn't fight.

But as they came close to John they were horrified to see that they couldn't move. Miles who already was ready to get a beating was astonished to see that in addition to fire this person had the power of telekinesis like Jean and Professor X.

"Uhh.. Man.. You know telekinesis.. This is awesome dude." Morales said. raven just looked frozen on her ground seeing how their team of three couldn't even move a finger. John then threw three fire balls at the three of them.

Raven wanted to avoid it but she too saw that but she too couldn't move and was struck by the fireball. And like Miles, all three screamed out in pain.

The heat of Phoenix fire wasn't something to be trifled with. Though this fire would heal them and make them sober, the trial by fire for them was necessary to wipe out the control of Apocalypse. In this case, the trial by fire was for 2 of them.

Not for Dracula as he would die in this fire. John didn't care if Dracula was controlled or on free reign. He wanted him to die.

As Dracula's body was burning away intensely, his screaming stopped. Dracula looked a John with anger and said.

"Phoenix, you have overstepped your boundaries. I can overlook the killing in hell but here you have no jurisdiction."

"Oh Chthon.. Nice to finally meet you. Well, whatever is left of you in him. Just die already." John said.

"Leave if you don't want to face my wrath." Dracula said.

"Wrath. You small champion wanted to bring out Unmaker. Which is a no for you too. I am doing you a favor. You should thank me." John said.

"Unmaker?" Dracula paused for a second. Chthon from other dimension checked the memories of Dracula to see what John said was truth or not.
